Li Ang and Qiu Feng left to visit the home of a female student, Ouyang Shi, who had requested two days of sick leave.

Qiu Feng pulled a finger from his sleeve and waved it. "In the past, you wouldn't have used such a cold tone to explain so much, you know."
"Hmm..."
Li Ang narrowed his eyes in recollection. "Maybe it's because I've had more troubling matters on my mind lately?"
